Insurance screwed me. Actually our broker screwed us. Over insured to the heavens on the main house (to the point where it's so over the top you can only laugh) and never mentioning that the cottage I stay in is considered an out building, which is capped at 2% of the full claim.

So, this has been a setback of note. Only thing propping me up is the knowledge that I've learned a shit load of important lessons.

Got an sms saying my case is now closed. The finger print guys never even showed up. Excellent.
